ZZZZZZZ

Sleep, whats it good for? Well for one lack of sleep will kill you faster than lack of water or food! So why not get that good eight, and I mean a full eight, hours of sleep? The benefits of sleeping often and regularly are unparalleled. Physically when you sleep you body shuts down and spends time repairing the daily wear and tear of life. Although mentally when you sleep your brain doesn't shut down, it actually goes to work refining all the recent neural connections its been making, aka solidifying all that you've been learning. Sleepiness is caused by a lack a chemical in the brain that is metabolized while your awake. The chemical, the name escapes me at the moment, increases concentration and alertness and scientists have make a chemical that you can spray into your nose and poof! All sleepiness gone. But the reason it hasn't gone to market is that we know so little about sleep. Sure I've just told you a good deal but that isn't even the half of it. Who knows what would happen if you never had to sleep. Not only to you body but also to your mind.
Sleep is very important and regular sleep can cure most disorders. I sleep a lot and i truly believe that it helps with every thing I do.

New Ideas

Well I've not writen any thing in a while now but I have something that I just need to share. I was in my science class the other day and it was all about the pursuit towards absolute zero. It was the most interesting thing that I had ever seen because it led me to my new theory about the universe.
The current view is that the universe will expand for all eternity moving apart at an exponentional rate until the universe dies a cold death. When I first heard this theory I was in disbelief. There is no way that a universe, which is made of cycles, could not be a cycle in its self. The universe had to die and be reborn. Forever.
But then I discovered that atoms behave much differently at cool temperatures. They start to be have like waves and are able to travel much faster than ordinary atoms. It was like they quantified and couldn't tell if they were here or there or if they even were. If this is true then it is possible that towards the end of the universe, when the temperature drops close to absolute zero, all the atoms in the universe will be able to overcome the expansive properties of Dark Energy and coalesce towards the center of the universe and condense in to a hyper dense orb that would signify the end/new beginning of the universe. Thus the cycle is preserved and balance is maintained.
This brings about the question of dark energy and dark matter, but that is for another discussion.

Its a New Year

Hi ya'll and happy new year. I only stayed up till 2:30 cause I had to leave the party due to the weather. Finals are looming on the horizon and I feel sleepy. This is probably due to the fact that halo can eat up massive amounts of time if your not careful. Now here's a question. Every once and a while I have a can of Mountain Dew, or some other energy drink and, instead of the burst of energy that you would expect from a stimulant, I suddenly feel tired and depressed. What is up with that? I just had some MD Gamefuel a couple hours ago and the same thing happened. Is it a mental thing or physical? This particular time I felt like I had been on a 4 hour high energy game run. I usually game for about 5 hours a day with plenty of breaks, unless I'm playing halo. But I Digress.

Nick, Kent? How are things? I haven't heard from you collage junkies in forever.
